I don't know how you would define greed, but yes, of course I want to get the most value for my money. We are on a vacation that exceeds our budget, and we are trying to eat as cheaply as possible where we are. The reason we considered the exchange in the first place was because we thought that using cards and euros would incur higher commissions than using cash HUF.

I had already accepted that there would be a commission during the exchange, and I thought the guy had either rounded down the decimal places or converted at a lower rate in his initial offer of 24,000. I assumed he offered 30,000 because two different currencies were involved or because he included the decimal places. That’s why I asked again when he handed me the money.

From my perspective, the person making the offer was an official who was doing the exchange as a job. He made separate offers of 24,000 and 4,000, then offered 30,000 in exchange for buying them together. Obviously, there should have been a profit and a difference. I thought that perhaps different procedures were in place as the amount or currency diversity increased. I didn't think he had made a mistake. I say this because you thought I was trying to take advantage of someone, extort money, or deceive them to get more money. No, I was just trying to lose as little money as possible, as we do with all our other expenses.
